Can Polish Citizen Enter Ukraine With ID?

score:9

Accepted answer

All EU citizens are allowed to enter Ukraine without visa and Poland is not an exclusion. However, you cannot use ID-card for crossing the border, as stated here (Ukrainian version) by the State Border Guard Service.
I am almost sure that you won't be able to make a transit (or airport transfer) with ID as well.

Documents required for crossing the state border of Ukraine:

  • Foreign passport;
  • [...]

Attention! ID-card, which identifies the personality, gives no right to cross the State Border of Ukraine

You cannot enter Ukraine, but you can change planes at Kiev-Boryspil airport.

As stated in Timatic, the database used by Airlines:

Transit refused to nationals of Poland with a national ID card.

Except when transiting through Kiev Boryspil (KBP) on Ukraine International Airlines (PS).

At the entry to transit security control, a border officer will check your boarding pass and ID card
